Fear is the mindkiller

A photograph and a missing ring
Bring demons laughing behind their hands
Into my island paradise

A reversal of fortunes
Turning reality in on itself
Like a crumpled piece of paper
Cast aside once words have ceased
To stem the flow of blood from my veins
Into your kiss

A shadow I chased, solidified
Beckoning me onwards
And averting my eyes from the abyss
Until at the last I stumble forwards
Feeling only comfort in nothingness
